The Ogun State Government has re-emphasized commitment to speed-up the regularization of the volunteers of the Community, Social Orientation and Safety Corps, popularly known as So-Safe Corps, into the mainstream civil service in a bid to strengthen the state security arrangement.
The governor appraised the sterling contribution of the officers and men of the agency, promising to always give necessary support in terms of up-to-date training to discharge their responsibilities more efficiently and professionally.
Dr Rotimiolu Akinlesi, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs made this disclosure at the closing ceremony of the three-week capacity building training for officers of the state-owned security agency.
Akinlesi said that the three-week training with the theme “Community-Based Security Interventions: Challenges, Opportunities and Best Practices” has provided the opportunity for the officers to further sharpen their skills.
Mr Akinlesi implored the officers to make proper use of the knowledge impacted into them at the training for the overall good of the state and its citizens.
The PS added, “I therefore want to extend my sincere gratitude to you all for your active participation during the programme while also assuring you that your dedication to service is not unnoticed.
“This is more so the reason why the Ministry has placed the effort of regularising the So-Safe Corps staff members in Ogun State Civil Service on the front burner.
“I must say that this is a project that will see the light of day in no distant time. You should just keep doing what you know how to do best and leave the rest to us.”
Akinlesi lauded the respective head of all the security outfits in the state for working together with good synergy geared towards the security of lives and properties in the state.
